Learn how to make group FaceTime video calls with up to 32 participants on your iPhone and iPad. This step-by-step guide will show you how to start a group FaceTime video chat, add people to an existing chat, and end the call.
Start a Group FaceTime Video Chat
If you want to initiate a new group FaceTime video chat, follow these simple steps:
- Open the FaceTime app on your iOS device.
- Tap the “+” button in the top right corner of the app.
- Add the contacts you want to include in the group chat (up to 32 people).
- Tap “Video” to start the group FaceTime video call.
Once the call is initiated, all participants will be notified and can join directly into the group FaceTime video chat.
Add More People to an Existing FaceTime Video Chat
If you are already in a FaceTime video chat and want to add more people to the call, follow these steps:
- In the active FaceTime conversation, tap the screen to access the options.
- Tap the three-dot gray button.
- Select “+ Add a person” to add more contacts to the call.
This feature is useful when you are in an ongoing video call and decide to bring in additional participants. Now, you can have a total of 32 people in a group FaceTime video chat.
Please note that all participants must have compatible devices (iPhone 6 or later, iPad Pro or later, iPad Air 2 or later, iPad Mini 4 or later) with iOS 12.1 or later. If someone’s device is not compatible with group video calls, they can still join as an audio stream. Make sure all participants have FaceTime enabled and their devices are up-to-date.
